Ryan Mallett Not at Practice: Personal Issue with Bill O'Brien

He won't be wrong, that will be new information

 

LMAO.

 

We're two weeks away from the start of the season. Mallet and Chan Gailey have exactly zero experience working with each other. What the hell are you smoking where you think this would happen?

Mallet got traded here right before the beginning of the season last year, to play for the coach who drafted him, in the same system he has been in his entire professional career, and it took him almost 3 months to get the starting nod.

Tell me again how Mallet would get handed the job after 2 weeks with the Jets...?

Beyond that, what's this pity party for Mallet? You think the Texans owed him a starting job? LOL.

 

I thought that Mallett couldn't overcome his fairly inaccurate passing and his lack of mobility, but I didn't know that he had the quick release that he's shown that makes up for his mobility issues and his strong arm has made up for his accuracy issues thus far.

And when he doesn't just admit that you were wrong and we can move past it.

 

I thought mallett could and would be our QB of the future but I don't believe that anymore.

 

Brett Kollmann must not have come out with anything giving Texans fans their opinions on the issue yet because I'm pretty sure if he had, I wouldn't have to deal with as much nonsense.

 

You didn't know he has a quick release and strong arm?

And yet you opined all last year that he sucks?

 

The idea that this was a quarterback competition is laughable. Hoyer was the starter from the start, Mallet was not in a competition in any sense of the word. Mallet may not have excelled, but Hoyer also didn't do jack **** to win the job either. It was handed to him and that's why Mallet is upset

 

I'm hoping they dump mallet. Move savage to QB2.

 

I know you are nothing but a troll, but I'll respond anyway.

He never displayed the quick release at any point before his first start with the Texans....that's why I didn't expect him to be able to do it. Once I saw his ability to do that, it changed my opinion of him. It didn't mean I was wrong about his accuracy issues or his mobility issues, it just meant that he had a means to overcome those weaknesses. It's something that can happen when there is so little film on a player.

When it comes to Hoyer....there's tons of film on him.

 

I'm trying to figure out how a strong arm makes up for poor accuracy.

 

You didn't force a trade? Rodgers for the Texans' statistically worst player?

You're doing it wrong.

 

If you have a noodle arm and you miss, the ball hangs in the air to get picked off, if you have a cannon for an arm and miss, odds are no one else is going to get it either.

 

And that's why Mallett had a higher INT% than Fitz last year.

If the guy with stronger arm is more inaccurate, he's still going to give the other team more opportunities for INTs. If you overthrow a receiver, it doesn't really matter how hard the ball is thrown if there's a LB or Safety there waiting for it.

Okay and that's an argument for Fitz over Mallett, but not an argument for Hoyer over Mallett. When they are both inaccurate QB's you prefer the one with the strong arm and the quick release. With Fitz you could always argue that his accuracy and mobility made him better but Hoyer has neither of those things.

 

Really, everything in that scouting report holds true today. Big. Strong arm. Quick release. Slow. Inaccurate. Inconsistent. And from what OB said on Hard Knocks, it's the last point that really cost him the job.

Apparently we're doing college scouting reports now.

 

Say whatever you want about Schaub, when he was really bad the last season in here and got benched, he never created any drama or complain, even he is still the best QB this franchise ever had.

If these current two scrub QBs have any dinity, whoever won the job should understand he was handed the job not because he will be the next Montana, but rather the other scrub sucks worse than him.

And whoever lost the job, should also be thankful that he still has a job in this league.

 

I just referenced the scouting report because the same knocks he had against hiim 5 years ago are the same knocks he had today. He strengths were same too which is why you shouldn't have been surprised that he had a quick release.

Some QBs get better. Some don't.
